Same thing happened to me. Had to log in to make them go away.

Upper Green River

I used composite decking boards. Lite, won’t rot or need painting and they don’t wick water to the camper.

https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2024-april-8 Less than a year to Total Solar Eclipse. I witnessed the last total eclipse in the U.S. next to Granite Falls off the Hoback River in Wyoming. An epic unforgettable clear day. I’d like to try it again but don’t know much about Texas and...

Much appreciated. Great pics and report. Now that I’m retired I need to figure out how to do the same for my wanderings.

Nice job! Just when I think I’ve done all the mods to my FWC that I can think of or seen on this website the WTW community comes up with another one.

I replaced the stock turnbuckles with steel turnbuckles with locknuts from McMaster. Worth the cost for peace of mind. I also added a “fail-safe” on the front using. 24” nylon climbing slings rated for 5000 ft-lbs connected using a carabiner through one eye and the strap looped through the...

During a post trip interior clean up I discovered the lower pin of the front panel had moved to the left 2 inches and the first spring on the right side had fallen out. I was able to slowly tap the pin back into position but not able to get the spring aligned. I’m assuming with my 2013 Fleet...

Thanks. I think I’ll give Alstrom Point a try and then assess Smokey. Your comments regarding “insects” are spot on. They also tear up the roads!

Seems like most of the time I come across the Mojave desert I’m pounding into the wind and getting 12-14 mpg. Tailwinds make me happy!

Great post! Been considering Smokey Mt for awhile. Were the sights worth the pain? Sounds like a tough drive.

I average 1300 miles / trip from San Diego. 6-8 trips a year for roughly 10k miles. Last road trip up to Bishop area I had some favorable winds and averaged 18 mpg on a fully loaded Fleet FWC on a 2021 Tacoma. I’m the slow poke in the right lane doing 60mph.

Fossil Fall evening. Headed north to the Tablelands. Thanks for the heads up Ski.

Bandits in Death Valley who blocked the road and tried to extort me for food.

I had the same thing happen with my Fleet. I used a small hydraulic jack on a log and used a 2x4 across the overhang in the back to lift the camper to reset the camper and recover the turnbuckle. I was able to just shove the camper into place.

Bugs are big this year with all the rain. !

Carrizo Creek Canyon Rd and Dos Cabezos are my favorite areas on the southern end of AnzA Borrego. Goat Canyon Trestle Trailhead area off of Mortero Canyon Rd is a scenic boondocking area overlooking the wind turbines.

Borrego Springs last Friday. Decent bloom….not a super.

Most FOBs can be turned off. I can turn mine off easily by holding lock down and pressing open simultaneously twice. No need for pouch. I leave my FOBs off most of the time.

Added mine below the door.

What did one coffin say to the other coffin? Is that you coughing? My father thought was the funniest joke ever….

ski3pin: Excellent! Do you have that feeling that someone is following you? I am! Headed to Surprise Canyon and Panamint next week and then your trek minus Saline Valley. Saline Valley and the Hot Springs have gotten too popular. Appears that North Pass is snowed in too. Hope to see you...

2013 FLEET on a 2021 4x4 TACOMA with Ride Rite Air bags . With air bags deflated height is 83 inches. I can get my rig in a standard garage. Tight fit, but just enough to get in!

Mazourka Peak White Mountains CA. Fun drive up to the 9410ft summit. Great place to camp in the summer to escape the valley heat. Epic dark skies, sunrise and sunsets.
